I was watching Meet the Parents on television the other night, and was reminded of how much this movie annoyed me. Sure it had a lot of laughs, but it really irritated me the way Ben Stiller gets walked all over by his girlfriend's family and friends, and she never stands up for him (until the end, of course).
If I was him, I would have dumped her halfway through the movie. And then I would have beaten the crap out of her family, eaten their stupid cat, and burned their house down.
The scene that irked me the most was the volley ball in the pool sequence. They're at the house of his girlfriend's ex-fiancé (Owen Wilson) playing volley ball in the pool. Owen Wilson spikes the ball right at Ben Stiller's head, nearly hitting him. The girlfriend high fives Owen Wilson and makes some idiotic reference to Top Gun. I would have dumped the bitch right there, stomped on Owen Wilson's face, and the peed in the pool.
Man that movie irritated me.
